The Dark Skies Festival is a series of free events we run in the autumn/winter to celebrate the night skies of the Norfolk coast.
Norfolk has some of the best night skies in the country. It’s an exciting place to see stars or planets even with the naked eye.
Darkness is essential for wildlife that use it for feeding, hiding from predators, breeding, and resting. It’s also vital for our own health and well-being – it resets our biological clock and reduces stress.
That’s why it’s important to preserve Norfolk’s night skies.
Our Dark Skies Festival gives people a chance to come along to range of fun free events, from night-time trail running to biofluorescent woodland walks. It raises awareness of light pollution and encourages people to take small actions to protect our dark skies.
We’re currently planning our next festival season for 2025/26. Follow our Dark Skies Festival eventbrite page to book your place when free tickets are released!
